Work It

Neon Snakes by Fontän. Check it out, dudes. Works for work.

Enna

Let me introduce; Enna. A small city on top of a small mountain located pretty much bulls eye on the rather small island of Sicily, Italy. Charming place I`m sure, as long as you don`t expect summer temperatures in April. You have to trust me on this one, but the view is actually amazing. I found this picture in my "pictures of pictures pictures" file, among memories and other foggy stuff. Enna + Sicily in general was visited studytrippin` in April 2005, we spent most of the time on a bus, wearing every piece of clothing brought from home. Or we made sketches of ruins, wearing every piece of clothing brought from home, or we ate the best italian food ever, wearing every piece of clothing brought from home. Or we drank grappa. Good old cold (except during grappa) times.

It`s Criminal

I wish I was a cooler kid at the age of 5 in the year of 1988, when this little tune came out on the open market. I guess those dance moves would have been easier to adapt at young age. Not that I haven`t tried as an older member of society, but where Mr. Jackson looks funkyfresh in a freaky way, my skills on the dancefloor only leads to freaky. Take a pick: SmoothCriminal , BlackOrWhite , P.Y.T. , BillieJean , BeatIt , Thriller , Bad .

...saw "This Is It" the other day, that might explain it.

Tokyo oykoT

Tokyo: 05:00 in the morning on the day of my departure. On my way back to Sakura House Sendagaya, after "one" beer in Golden Gai together with Ms. A. A(n) hour later I was on the train to Narita AirportO, with all my stuff and a mild hangover, my personal tradition when travelling. This crossing is located in Shinjuku, close to the huge station, usually a crowded area. Both with cars and people.

Scoop

It`s spring, it`s loppemarked (flee market) season. Yesterday in the book department of Grefsen Skoles Musikkorps´ Loppemarked I found a small piece of Atlas heaven, a pocket version of The Book (Atlas). Now I may go wherever I want with the entire world in my bag/pocket. Imagine that. From the top: Switzerland + Austria, Java/Indonesia, parts of South America and parts of South Africa. Hello.

Oh Barn

My latest fascination is barns. During a long and monotonous train ride to Trondheim, barns along the tracks became my focus. Many of them close to self-performed-demolition, but still well proportioned with long slim building structures and openings/windows where they`re needed. I like to think that not many considerations regarding aesthetics were made when the decisions had to be done. This is five models in 1:100 I`ve made from my own imagination with no site or developer present. Just for fun, so to speak.

My Own Personal Surprise

Never thought I would say this, but: I kind of want to go to...Lanzarote. I can mos def picture myself in this scenery, in the back somewhere handing out peace signs for everyone/anyone.

Lanzarote is part of the cultural Mekka of Gran Canaria. The island consists mostly of volcanoes, which have done a great job covering huge areas with lava. Because of the dry weather the apocalyptic look has been perfectly maintained, since a long time...1824 to be precise.

Plan: flight, hiking boots, disposable camera (great picturemaker), sunglasses, followed by pink drinks in a tacky bar where a super local and surprisingly undiscovered band is playing the "best of" - series, entertaining the cultural elite of Scandinavia.

Space Out

Just had a session of serious internet-connection-freakout-moments, and need a piece of zen reality to stabilize the situation. This works. Easter holidays view from mountain cabin porch.
